Broadband connections in Bangalore

I have joined Sun microsystems recently and have shifted to Bangalore in middle of January. Being a geek and obligations towards job, made me look for the broadband connections like DSL type. Then on my consultations with people at office anduser reviews on different operators in Bangalore at Mouthshut.com led to these conclusions. When ever , I am looking for the Broad band connection, I will to check out on following parameters.

• Customer Support
• Speed
• Reliability
• Installation time + charges
• Prices / month.

In Bangalore , Airtel , BSNL , TATA INDIcom , HathWay , Zee next, SIFY and Local operatorsare the main players in this household market. From the user reviews,

• speed + reliability : Airtel , BSNL , TATA , others.
• customer support: Airtel , TATA , others, BSNL.
• installation time + charges : Airtel (max week), TATA(20 days - max) , others , BSNL (2 months)
• prices per month : Airtel (700 - unlimited) , BSNL (900 - Unlimited) , TATA (dint find out) , others

So Airtel is the best available as of now in bangalore. But hard luck , the feasibility in my region is problem for J.P. Nagar area. :-( . So now running after other operators. :-) ... Let us see how long it will take to find a good internet connection for my home place. Two of the User's reviews and tips at Mouthshut.com are posted here Which you might find it useful.

Where I have been for the last 10 months

Well, After 8 months long duration, actually writing this again. Partly this delay was attributed to stay at my village where net connection is very slow but costly and also to the preparation of civil services mains examination.

How did it go ?

This is my 3rd attempt in Mains examination, But I am not satisfied with my performance in the Test. Should have prepared for writing practice. I should do it at least for my next and most importantly last attempt. This year though papers were easy for me not able to finish them in time.. each one of them.. Had I mastered that art, I would have scored minimum 50 marks more. Thankfully, my maths paper this time was far better.. Marks in this paper along with GS will determine my fortunes in this one.. Geography Papers are disasters in the whole exam.. Though I knew most of the answers, I have not been able to organise myself well.

If God give me another chance , I would do the writing practice every day especially for Geography.

Now What is the next Step in my Life ? Why?

Looking for Jobs in Computer Science. From the discussions of important persons in my life I have decided to defuse the pressure bomb on me (which comes from the question what if I dint get through Civil Services). So this led me to looking for Job opportunities in my mother stream ( Computer Science). Chalo will keep writing to you at least for the time being.. :-)
